CH2015 Digital Health from an Entrepreneurship Perspective 7.5 credits

This course provides students with in-depth knowledge in the field of digital

health from an entrepreneurship perspective. Domains of digital health, needsbased

innovation including prototyping, usability and testing as well as data

management, intellectual property, reimbursement, business models, ethics and

future trends will be discussed and analysed.

The course uses a student-centered educational model. Factual knowledge is

obtained through literature studies and lectures and is applied through practical

work. The practical work consists of workshops, case studies and project work in

groups. The pedagogy is based on entrepreneurial learning to create the

conditions for creativity, reflection, and initiative.

Upon completion of the course, students should be able to:

1. Design a needs-based innovation process for digital health product development.

2. Analyse the digital health ecosystem in general, and the role and relationship

between public sector stakeholders specifically.

3. Integrate compliance with regulatory and legal frameworks into a digital health

business model.

4. Evaluate how digital health can change healthcare globally and reflect on issues

related to ethics and personal integrity.
